Overview
P.E. EL ROBLECILLO DE ARRIBA is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 49.8 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy targets under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
P.E. EL ROBLECILLO DE ARRIBA is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned by PARQUE EOLICO EL ROBLECILLO S.L. The facility has a capacity of 49.8 MW, positioning it as a medium-scale wind installation within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. The wind farm operates under Spain's regulatory framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413) targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain has implemented supportive policies including feed-in tariffs and grid connection priority for renewable sources, facilitating the development of onshore wind projects like this one. The facility contributes to Spain's decarbonization goals by generating clean electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Onshore wind farms in this region typically benefit from consistent wind patterns, supporting grid stability and local energy needs. The project also aligns with national efforts to increase renewable capacity and meet climate commitments.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region where onshore wind development must balance energy generation with local environmental considerations. Potential impacts include visual landscape changes and effects on bird and bat populations, which are common for wind projects. Proper siting and mitigation measures help minimize these effects, while the facility supports broader environmental benefits by displacing greenhouse gas emissions from conventional power sources.
